After the Apple iPad device was released, MeFeedia reported that iPad users watched two and a half times as many videos as typical web users, and watched video three times longer than those users. More importantly, those users spend three times as much time watching video as the typical web user, lending credence to our theory that the device’s form factor hits a sweet spot for personal media consumption.
It’s important to note that these stats are only for videos that are viewed through MeFeedia …

A report in The New York Post suggests that some top content merchants are balking at converting their existing Flash-authored video to a more iPad-friendly HTML5 format.
The report says that both Time Warner and NBC Universal have told Apple that they won’t rework their extensive library of content to accommodate Apple, which has banned Flash on its devices, and prohibited cross-platform tools from authoring content that will appear on its App Store. The reason, the paper suggested, was that the recoding would be too …

VP Eugene Wei might have overstepped recently when he posted to the Hulu company blog that they are looking at HTML 5, but don’t expect it to meet their needs any time soon. This is disappointing to iPad users since the current Hulu player won’t work for them.
Amusingly, the post was pulled shortly after it went up, but the news had already started circulating. Wei stated that the current Hulu player not only streams video, but also securing content, reports back to advertisers, and …

One of the most hotly contested battles in the Flash-versus-HTML5, Apple-versus-Adobe, out-and-out war has been staged around the issue of online video.
